I need a source for hacksaw blades.

[MBI]

Hi all,

I've read the FAQ and it states to look for the hacksaw blades that come in a 10 pack for about 2$.

None of the shops I went to had a 10 pack for anythign less than 10.

So I picked up a 4 pack at my local wally world and when I attempted to break it the end bent.

Where does everybody get their blades from? at least in the us

Well to break it cleanly, you need to grasp it where you want it to break, (you know with opposing fingers touching, and snap it quickly.. )

Failing that, use pliers or vice grips, and get them as close as possible, and bend it quickly.. Do not slowly bend it, or it will bend instead of the "snap" you want.

Hope this helps.

check the dollar store...I got some from there that were 10 for 3$ they are blue and snap like the every other kind Ive used(that were supposed to snap)

You can buy them at home depot, or any other hardware store.
Don't go too cheap because they would be bad quality, but don't go too expensive because the blade will be MUCH harder to grind off. (Bad, bad, BAD experiences there)
